This is the first full day in the tank and it looks happy and opened up.

Is this a sweeper tentacle it's putting out or something else?

If you can isolate it to one rock by itself thats how i have mine.... that way it doesnt overtake territory you dont want it to....
There's an arch it can spread on but I wouldn't mind little carpet across there. There's a swim through so maybe my clownfish will enjoy it.

Question: can these do OK with just light or do they require feeding to be healthy?

Mine looked best with excess nutrients.
I ran into a ULN situation by accident and they are much smaller since

Just be ready for him to take over things i keep mine in an isolated area just in case as long as you dont mind it moving across the arch then your fine. Mine is currently in a frag tank hybrid but once the 220 is up and running he will have his own rock structure/area and will keep him seperate from things and yes they can get huge dinner plate size. Mine is currently a small saucer but getting bigger each week. Here is a reference pic so you know size....

Hmm, I didn't glue the frag plug down because I know they're prone to relocate themselves. Now I'm thinking of placing it on the sand bed or maybe buying a small rock and gluing it to that.

Will really just depend on what else your wanting to keep in the tank too i have a mixed reef so sand bed is a must for me on a rock or it would get blasted with lighting due to the acros. But also have some shelves going over the topside of my mushroom area to position the torches inthe correct flow and lighting. Here is a full tank shot to show placement and size as well.

That’s a nice tank! I need to think about it because I was planning for more diversity. He might end up on the sand bed.
